It won’t commonly be looked at as the most fun game in the world of betting, but keno has loads of passionate supporters. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a always entertaining lottery-style game that’s a breeze to master, readily available in tons of different variations, and one that may pay out mega-dollars for gamblers who learn its innumerable subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basic rules for now.

When describing keno to newbies, some betting connoisseurs compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain extent correct, in that each game is essentially numerical. But to carry that comparison too far might be to underestimate the countless unique aspect that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to choose the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a good oldmarker like you used when you were in third grade.

After you’ve marked your numbers, take the game card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The clerk will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will win precisely $.00 for your actions.

Ok, there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us get on to something a tiny bit more complex, yes?

After you’ve marked your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and see the action unfold on a monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you checked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get back to the keno booth to collect your winnings, and a new round of keno will almost certainly start within five minutes.

Strategy number 2: always make it back to the keno booth on time!

Since you don’t trust yourself to meet that five-minute margin every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to twenty cards. When the max amount of rounds (matching the amount of tickets) is played, you may then get off your numb back side and go get your winnings.

Yet an additional opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally allows you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Heck, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

So now you know a number of necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are an experienced player, they may seem stupidly obvious. But it will never hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a new user, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno playing more fun.
